"I don't understand the fella. It looks like he wants to be president of every state except Louisiana." — Former Governor and current congressional candidate Edwin Edwards, talking to Politico about Gov. Bobby Jindal.

"Congressman McAllister's behavior is an embarrassment and he should resign. He says he wants privacy to work on his issues with his family. The best way to get privacy and work on putting his family back together is to resign from Congress." — Gov. Bobby Jindal, three days after U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister, R-Swartz, admitted that he was caught kissing a married staffer in surveillance tape taken at his north Louisiana district office. Jindal backed state Sen. Neil Riser in the 5th District special election last year; McAllister won in an upset.
